VR12 - Yes, we absolutely thought this was coming out pre-Halloween. Halloween may be over, but NEVERTHELESS THE SPOOKTACULAR PERSISTED!

In this Vapid Response double feature, Thomas, Matt, and Lydia are haunted by two ghoulish takes from the past: 

  1. FEATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: Politico’s insanely longform access journalism piece from August 2024 on how Project 2025 was so totally over, just never happening, nothing to see here

  2. EROSSERHEAD: New York Times resident traditional conservative Ross Douthat’s 2015 analysis of why Donald Trump is definitely not a fascist

We then screen a short horror film recently shot at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

  1. The Inside Story of How Project 2025 Fell Apart,” Ian Ward, POLITICO (8/2/2024)

  2. Project 2025 Tracker - Home

  3. Opinion | Is Donald Trump a Fascist?,” Ross Douthat,  The New York Times  (12/3/2015)
